Hair Regrowth Potential

Factors Affecting Regrowth
- Healthy scalp and follicles allow regrowth over months.
- Severe burns damaging follicles may limit regrowth.
Recommendations
- Keep the scalp clean and avoid further trauma.
- Consult a dermatologist if no regrowth occurs after a few months.

Summary: New hair can grow if follicles are unharmed. Proper scalp care is essential.
